Is there an advantage in adding Crawlera to a scrapy cloud account if I only want to do light scraping?

Does the Scrapy cloud account gets banned regularly?

The main advantage is to reduce the likelihood of bans by routing your requests through different IPs. A job in Scrapy Cloud uses a single IP, it might not only be banned but also throttled. Some websites might be harder to scrape than others, so it depends on that. I would suggest you start with a C10 at $25/month for 150,000 requests/month and 10 concurrent requests.
